Old love letters reveal new secrets, plus why MPs have such high divorce rates: best podcasts for July

Daryl Allen had always wanted to be a playwright. But that dream was cut short when he lost his life to AIDS in 1991.

Before he died, he left bundles of love letters and scripts with an ex-boyfriend. Twenty-five years later, Daryl's writings found their way to Dane Stewart. This inspired him to make the new podcast Resurrection.

Dane has spent the past five years uncovering who Daryl was through the writing he left behind. Part investigation, part historical documentary, and part love story, the podcast is a tribute not only to Daryl but the generation of gay men who were lost to the AIDS epidemic.

Then: hockey. It's Canada's favourite winter sport. But right now, it's going through a reckoning.

Allegations of racism, corruption, sexual misconduct and so much more are rocking the billion dollar industry behind it.

The latest season of COMMONS from Canadaland digs into the dark side of Canada's beloved sport.

Plus, what is Parliament Hill like as a workplace? Former MP Lisa Raitt shares the pressures of working in Parliament and how it affected her career, sanity and marriage.

All that and more, this week on Podcast Playlist.

Featuring: Resurrection, Scamanda, COMMONS: Hockey, Flipping The Bird, Humans of the House, The War on Cars
